Eve (Between The Bookends)Mar 14, 2018

Another super short Masters and Mercenaries spinoff novella. This one worked A LOT better for me than RESCUEING SADIE did. This was a complete (albeit very rushed) story that worked well as a standalone. Obviously, you won't know who some of the secondary characters are if you have...

This is my first book by this author, but I wanted to check out all of the books in the crossover series.
This is a quick one to read, but fun. Lots of action with romance. Talia and Shane were well matched and it helped that they had history. I loved how Ian butted in to help Shane...

I'm a huge fan of Lexi Blake, and Carly Phillips... so the two of them working together? I'm sold! This was a great read. The suspense was just the perfect amount, and the story moved at a good pace. Sometimes, with shorter novels, the relationship feels like it's moving to fast, but w...

His to protect is the last book I reviewed for the crossover because I needed to gather my thoughts. I have decided that's this is the best book for me (I'm sorry, Justify Me). The book is truly a stand-alone which is great because you won't have to read any book before this to underst...
